Ubisoft expanded the reach of Might & Magic Fates today, February 16, 2026, with its release on Steam Early Access. The title, which already maintains a solid player base in regions including Indonesia, Poland, and Australia through mobile devices, arrives on PC with enhanced visuals and more precise control mechanics. The desktop version enables cross-platform multiplayer matches with mobile users, allowing both groups to share the same battlefield regardless of their chosen device.
The tactical card game retains its core elements: players build strategies from a roster of over 250 unique cards. Matches center on heroes who level up during combat to increase their attack power and unlock new abilities. The setting divides into four primary factions — Haven, Necropolis, Inferno, and Academy — each with distinct strengths and tactical approaches. The combat system prioritizes strategic timing and unit positioning, relegating chance to a secondary role so player skill becomes the determining factor.
Detailed Roadmap and New Social Features
Alongside the PC launch, the development team presented a roadmap outlining both short-term and long-term improvements. Immediate updates focus on strengthening social interaction. Personalized player profiles and a battle log for detailed match analysis will become available. A disenchantment system will also arrive, letting users manage their card collections more efficiently. As a gesture of support for early adopters, Founder Key holders will receive discounts on future content.
Long-term plans include introducing a new faction and expanding the catalog with 40 additional cards. Planned features include a battle pass, a daily bonus system, and a sacrificial altar. To keep the competitive environment dynamic, the developers will implement a card rotation system for bonus pools.
The integration of blockchain technology arrives through a partnership with Immutable
This collaboration enables card tradability on the Immutable marketplace, utilizing zkEVM technology for fast, low-cost transactions. Ubisoft emphasizes that this Web3 layer remains entirely optional, designed exclusively for players interested in digital ownership.
The company confirms the functionality provides no competitive advantages and does not interfere with the free-to-play model, preserving game balance. The investment in Might & Magic Fates forms part of Ubisoft’s strategy to revitalize the franchise, backed by the 2.32 billion euros in net revenue reported for the 2023-24 fiscal year.
